Mid-Century Homes on the Bay

Epoxy flooring in Bayshore Gardens usually involves concrete poured in the 1950s and 1960s. In 1955, a New York group led by developer Sydney R. Newman bought about 3,200 acres of former tomato fields, and the community opened in 1956. Point2Homes (ACS) shows 14.1% of housing units from the 1950s, 23.5% from the 1960s and 32.5% from the 1970s, with a 1973 median.

Prep for older slabs

Garages and carports this old often need extra work:

Grinding off paint and old sealers.
Repairing spalls and cracks.
Checking moisture carefully, since older slabs may lack vapor barriers.

We include all of that in the written quote.

Low ground on Sarasota Bay

Bayshore Gardens is bordered by Sarasota Bay to the southwest and Bowlees Creek to the southeast, and Wikipedia lists its elevation at 0 feet. Low ground means garages may see water in heavy storms. We test for moisture and salt before every job.

A mix of homes

Detached single-family houses make up about 30.3% of units and mobile homes 22.6%, with many multi-unit buildings as well. That mix means garages, carports, shared parking and patios. We match the system to each surface.

Campus and business floors

The main campus of State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota, sits in Bayshore Gardens. Schools, offices and shops need floors that handle foot traffic and frequent cleaning, and commercial epoxy suits those spaces.

Matching mid-century character

University of Florida students and residents began cataloging Bayshore Gardens' mid-century homes in 2014, and the community has been pursuing state historic designation. Owners who care about that history often pick floor colors that fit the era, such as warm tans, muted greens or soft grays. Flake blends in those tones look at home in a 1950s garage or carport.

Rentals and smaller units

With a sizable share of renter-occupied homes, landlords here often want floors that clean up fast between tenants. A simple flake system with a hard topcoat fits that need.

Bayshore Gardens Questions

Is my 1950s Bayshore Gardens garage too old to coat?

Usually not. Older slabs need more prep, and we test moisture carefully, but most can be coated well.

Do you coat floors for schools or offices?

Yes. Commercial epoxy works well in classrooms, offices and back rooms that see heavy foot traffic and frequent cleaning.

Does being near Sarasota Bay change the coating?

It makes salt and moisture testing more important. We wash and test before choosing a primer.

Can you coat a manufactured home carport here?

Yes. We check that the concrete is sound and use a UV-stable topcoat for open-air slabs.
